Bernier stopped 24 of 27 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

While Bernier allowed a pair of goals in the last four minutes of regulation to force overtime, Jack Hughes was able to make him a winner. The 33-year-old Bernier was solid for the Red Wings last year with a 2.99 GAA and a .914 save percentage despite a 9-11-1 record in 24 games. The Devils are a bit farther along in their rebuild, and Bernier figures to be the temporary No. 1 goalie while Mackenzie Blackwood (heel) continues to get back to full fitness.
